Terminate the Snowbird Volunteer, Reporter v6.0

With the Reporter you can start and stop volunteers at any time—for example, snowbirds who move south for the winter or north for the summer. Then the Reporter calculates the volunteer’s Years of Service based upon only the person’s actual time worked.

On the Profile tab in Volunteers, select the volunteer’s name.

Alternate Address, Reporter v.6.0

The Reporter assumes you want the main addres entered in the Volunteer’s Profile to be the current mailing address.

Usually when the volunteer is at an alternative address, that person is temporarily terminated. Remember to include terminated volunteers in a filter in order to send labels or emails to inactive volunteers.

When a volunteer has an additional address or more, you can set that farther down on the Volunteer Profile. By default those alternate address fields are labeled Multiple Addresses, but you can change the labels in Field Lists if you want. Notice that each address can be labeled within the address field, but that label, e.g., Home or Winter, etc., will not show up when the address is printed.
